Fewer than one in six Americans want U.S. soldiers deployed to defend Ukraine if Russia invades the country, according to a new poll published on Friday, as high level talks got underway in Geneva.
A poll from Convention of States Action (COSA) in partnership with the Trafalgar Group found that just 15.3 percent of likely general election voters believed the U.S. should provide troops as "boots on the ground" in the event of an invasion.
The figures came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for talks in Geneva with tensions between Russia and Ukraine remaining high.
The COSA/Trafalgar Group poll was conducted from January 12 to 14 among 1,081 likely general election voters and has a margin of error of +/-2.98 percent.
The Trafalgar Group enjoys an A- rating from poll tracker FiveThirtyEight. ...
Deploying troops had the lowest level of support, while 31.1 percent of respondents supported providing supplies and weapons.
A further 30.5 percent agreed that the U.S. should provide "only diplomatic area pressure," while 23.2 percent supported the U.S. providing military advisers if there were an invasion.

Wait, so, more than 1 in 7 Americans Want U.S. Soldiers in A Ukraine-Russia War?
1 in 7? 1 in 6000?
A smaller percentage of Americans crossed the border into Canada to fight the Nazis two years before US entry into WWII.
Prescient Americans fought Imperial Japan from within Nationalist China before Pearl Harbor. What did they do wrong?
Not bad!

One Polish volunteer pilot in an A-10 would wreak havoc.
Hell no we won’t go ... to Biden’s wag the dog war..
Nukes will never be used again. They are not weapons of war, they are political poker chips that can NEVER be cashed by either side.
Not hard, just back Ukraine. EU countries sign a defense treaty with Ukraine. It's a EU problem not ours.
Hell no. Wag the dog war.
Give weapons if you must, not one more boot in that backwater dammit.
“Hell no we won’t go”
Never thought I would see a FReeper type that.
Ukraine has enough people of their own who will carry a rifle.
What they need is weapons, especially anti-aircraft missiles.
Beats the Afghan “babes”...
“Well,
The Ukraine girls really knock me out (... Wooh, ooh, ooh)
They leave the West behind (Da, da, da)”...
BREAKING: The Netherlands breaks with Germany and will aid Ukraine.
Not hard? When Russia is moving massed armor around in its own backyard, nothing, other than nuclear weapons, provides anything more than a slight speed bump. The most fortunate gaffe that dipsh!t Biden will ever make was green lighting a Putin incursion into Ukraine. Do it, get it over with before some neocon cowboy or SJW dipsh!t blunders the west into a war with Russia.
You are so 60s. MAD applied when total destruction was assured between two, then three factions. An Indian/Pakistani nuclear exchange is a very real possibility that could happen and would be regional and limited (they don’t have the weapons to even approach MAD). There are no MAD guarantees for the majority of the members of the nuclear club unless they attack three specific nations out of the 195 potential target nations. As the credibility of the American nuclear umbrella continues to fade, many of the now exposed nations will have no alternative than to do what de Gaulle had the foresight to do, an independent French nuclear deterrent with a French finger on the button. Look for South Korea, Japan and what are considered western leaning Arab nations to follow the de Gaulle lead. Bottom line, MAD is not a credible deterrent to most nuclear club members using the bomb regionally and the nuclear club will continue to expand. I’m sixty five and will more than likely see a nuclear exchange somewhere in the world in my lifetime.
That just shows that one in six Americans are addle minded morons. Or FR armchair warriors who love the thought of war.
I felt sorry for Cindy Sheehan because she didn’t convince her son he shouldn’t enlist. Since the architects of the Vietnam War have gone public admitting so many mistakes and mis-steps (ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of Southeast Asians), people should think twice about doing that.
We already greenlighted incursions by ignoring the Russian seizures of part of Georgia and part of Ukraine.
The one in six gives you an idea how stupid many “Americans” are.
